2.6.2 Parameter Setting (Cont.)

NOTE:

Underlined setting is the factory default.

2.6.2.1 Printer Set

(1) MEDIA LOAD

Determines how the use of the [FEED] key enables the printer to detect the home position. This parameter is effective only when the sensor type is set to other than "None".

  • OFF Media loading function is disabled (Same as a feed by [FEED] key)
  • STD When the [FEED] key is pressed after the printer is tuned on, reset in batch mode, or the print head is closed, the printer detects the next gap/black mark and feeds the paper from the sensor to the print start position.
  • ECO When the [FEED] key is pressed after the printer is tuned on, reset in batch mode, or the print head is closed, the printer detects the next gap/black mark and feeds the paper to the print start position based on the last label pitch printed.
  • ECO+Bfeed Since optional ribbon saving module is not available to the LE840/LE850, MEDIA LOAD setting and the printer behavior will be automatically changed to "ECO" setting even if "ECO+Bfeed" is selected for these models.

NOTE:

  1. If the pitch of the media used for the previous issue was less than 20mm, the forward wait will not be activated regardless of the parameter setting.
  2. The media will stay at the forwarded position even if the power is turned off/on, the printer is reset, the print head is opened/closed.

(2) FORWARD WAIT

This parameter allows you to choose whether or not to activate the auto forward wait function. This function, used in the cut mode, automatically feeds the media forward if there is more than a 1-second idle time after printing. This prevents the top edge of the media from curling.

  • OFF Disables the auto forward feed wait
  • ON Enables the auto forward feed wait ①

① When ON is selected, the feed amount can be fine adjusted.

(3) FORWARD WAIT POS.

OKI LE850DT - FORWARD WAIT POS. - 1

(Default: 0.0mm )

2.6.2 Parameter Setting (Cont.)

(4) FW/BK ACT.

MODE1

The printer waits for next issue after 13.7-mm media has been fed forward.

  • MODE2

When thermal transfer and cut mode are selected, the printer feeds 6-mm media backward, then waits for next issue after 3-mm media has been fed forward.

From this position, the printer starts the on-the-fly printing for next issue. The 3-mm distance to the home position is fed at 3 ips.

NOTE:

Pre-strip function is automatically enabled when the print speed is set to 10 ips or faster. However, the print speed is corrected depending on the EX I/O parameter setting, as follows.
EX I/O: TYPE 1
10 ips (203 dpi)
8 ips (300 dpi)
EX I/O: TYPE 2
Specified speed

(5) HU CUT/RWD

Setting for using the Rewinder in the batch or strip issue modes.

OFF

Rewinder is not used.

ON

However, these function will not be supported by LE840/LE850. Therefore these parameter setting will be ignored and no effect.

(7) PRE PEEL OFF

Select whether to activate the pre-strip function. When this parameter is set to ON, the top edge of a label is separated (pre-stripped) from the backing paper before the label is printed. This function is intended to make the strip issue easier in the case of labels that are hard to strip due to the label density, strength of the adhesive used, or the print speed.

OFF

Disables pre peel off

ON

Enables pre peel off

(8) BACK SPEED

Select back feed speed.

In strip issue a back feed speed of 3 ips may cause the correct distance not to be fed due to a lack of torque, slippery media surface, etc. In such cases reduce the back feed speed to 2 ips to ensure the correct feed amount.

  • STD

3ips

  • LOW

2ips

(9) TYPE OF RIBBON

  2. After the automatic calibration is performed, the media length, effective print length, sensor type and whether the ribbon is used or not, obtained through the calibration, will take effect until next calibration is performed or the printer power is turned off. (Settings specified by commands are ignored.)
  3. This function is available only when the media pitch is 10.0 mm to 150.0 mm .
  4. When the printer cannot detect the second black mark/gap, it will continue to feed the media for up to 500.0mm. If a black mark/gap is still not detected, the printer will stop, resulting in a paper jam.
  5. During an automatic calibration, the printer also feeds the ribbon. Even if the ribbon is not loaded, this will not result in an error. However, the print condition will be automatically changed to "No ribbon" after the calibration ends.
  6. When the cutter is installed and a previous issue was performed in cut issue mode, the media is cut and ejected after the automatic calibration is completed.
  7. When a label end occurs during an automatic calibration, the printer stops, resulting in an error. Loading new media and closing the print head can clear the error and resume the automatic calibration.
  8. Since the optional ribbon saving module is not available for the LE840/LE850, Setting + Bfeed will have no effect and the setting will revert to without BFeed.
  9. The feed speed during automatic calibration is 3 ips.

Manually set threshold = Peak voltage - The value set here. For details, refer to Section 2.10.

OKI LE850DT - THRESHOLD - 1

2.10 Threshold Setting

To maintain a constant print position the printer uses the media sensor to detect a print start position according to the difference of voltage between a print area and a gap or black mark. When the media is pre-printed, the darker (or more dense) inks can interfere with this process causing paper jam errors.

To get around this problem, first, try an automatic threshold setting.

If the problem still occurs, then, the threshold voltage needs to be fine adjusted.

Threshold is a voltage level by which the printer determines whether a print area or a gap/a black mark is being detected by the media sensor.

The threshold is a boundary between a print area and a gap/black mark, and should be a midpoint of their voltage levels.

NOTES:

  1. To ensure print quality and print head life use only Oki Data specified media.
  2. When using the peel-off at 12''/sec or more for 203dpi model, issue at 10''/sec . When using the peel-off at 10''/sec or more for 300dpi model, issue at 8''/sec .
  3. When using the disk cutter, the label length must meet the following condition: Label length 18.0mm - (Gap length/2).
  4. The Strip Module do not support the print speed of 10''/sec . or faster.
  5. The ratio of a label length to a gap length must be a minimum of 3 to 1 (3:1).
  6. When using label stock in cut mode, be sure to cut in the gaps. Cutting labels will cause the adhesive to stick to the cutter, which may affect the cutter performance and shorten the cutter life.
  7. When the Strip Module is used on the LE840 (203 dpi model), the print speed is automatically corrected to 10"/sec. if 12"/sec. or faster is specified.
    When the Strip Module is used on the LE850 (300 dpi model), the print speed is automatically corrected to 8"/sec. if 8"/sec. or faster is specified.

7.1.2 Detection Area of the Transmissive Sensor (Gap sensor)

Sensor position

The sensor is movable in the range from the center of the paper to the left end.

Transmissive sensor and Reflective sensor (Black mark sensor) are moving from side to side at same time each sensor unit.

OKI LE850DT - Sensor position - 3

7.1.3 Detection Area of the Reflective Sensor (Black mark sensor)

The Reflective Sensor is movable from the centre to the left edge of media.

The reflection factor of the Black Mark must be 10% or lower with a waveform length of 950 nm.

The Reflective Sensor should be aligned with the centre of the Black Mark.

The black marks, if necessary, must be printed on the labels in the gap areas.

Rectangular holes can substitute the black marks, on the condition that nothing is printed on the back side.

7.1.4.2 Effective Print Area of Tags and Labels

NOTES:

  1. Print quality in the shaded area is not guaranteed. For the label, printing in the 1-mm width area around the label is not guaranteed as well as the shaded area shown above.
  2. This printer paper set position is left side, The center of the paper (label and tag) is not almost aligned with the center of the print head.
  3. If printing is performed in the shaded area, the ribbon may wrinkle. This may affect the print quality of the guaranteed printing area.

7.1.5 RFID Tags

Available RFID tag types are different depending on the RFID modules/printers.

Cautions for using RFID Tags

(1) Lift-up of Print Head

An RFID tag chip or the print head may be damaged when the print head passes over the chip.

(2) Storage of RFID Supplies

Do not store RFID tags close to printers, as their read/write performance may be compromised when they are used.

(3) Roll-type RFID Supplies

When RFID supplies are to be rolled, roll hardness must be considered.

Although it depends on the type of adhesive, tag, and backing paper, RFID-tag embedded labels tend to stay rolled. Especially, when they are outside wound, a paper jam error may occur. Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended that the RFID-tag embedded labels be inside wound.

(4) Sensor

When the transmissive sensor or reflective sensor is enabled, transmittance or reflectivity of a label or tag may vary at an RFID-tag embedded area depending on the pattern of the antenna or other factors. In such cases, a manual threshold setting is required. For details, refer to Section 2.10 Threshold Setting.

(5) Cutter

When an RFID label or tag is used in cut issue mode, care must be taken not to cut the antenna of the RFID tag or the IC chip so as not to damage the cutter.

(6) Static Electricity

When printing is performed in a place where humidity is low or under some specific conditions, writing data on an RFID tag may fail due to static electricity generated by the label or ribbon.

(7) Printing on Bump (Chip/Antenna) Area

Embedding an RFID tag in labels creates bumps on the label surface, causing incomplete printing.

Uneven printing or incomplete printing can occur easily, especially within 5 mm top and bottom, and to the left and right sides of the RFID-tag embedded area, as shown in the figure below.

NOTE: The degree of poor printing quality differs depending on height of a chip/antenna used.

OKI LE850DT - Cautions for using RFID Tags - 1

(8) Ambient Temperature

As low temperatures cause wireless performance to deteriorate, writing data on an RFID tag may fail under such conditions.

(9) Strip Issue

Stripping performance in strip issue mode depends on the type of adhesive, tag, and backing paper. For some RFID supplies used, a strip issue may not be performed properly.

(10) Caution for Minimum Label Pitch Length

When using media, with a short label pitch length, data may be written on an RFID tag adjacent to the target RFID tag.

As the location, where data is to be written, differs among RFID tag types, a check must be performed to make sure that the data is written on the target RFID tags. For details, please contact the nearest Oki Data support representative.

(11) Defective RFID Supply

RFID supplies may include defective RFID tags at the time of shipment from the maker. The defect rate differs depending on tag types, method of converting to supplies, etc.

The RFID supply manufacturer should provide a way to identify defective tags by printing a mark on them or any other methods.

Or, defective tags should be rejected in the production process.

The end users must be notified on how to identify a defective tag from a good one.

7.2 Ribbon

The approved ribbon must be used.

Use of any non-approved ribbon may cause problems.

9Winding MethodThe ribbon is wound outside. For the core and ribbon winding positions, see Fig. 2.

NOTES:

  1. The ribbon type number and the lot No. should be marked on the ribbon core end with black indelible ink. (If doing this is impossible, separately specify the location where the type number and the lot number are stamped.)
  2. It is recommended that the ribbon is wider than the paper width by 5 mm or more.

  3. When the difference between the ribbon width and the paper width is same or too minimum, the ribbon may wrinkle.

  4. When the difference between the ribbon width and the paper width is too large, the ribbon may wrinkle.
  5. Be careful of the upper limit of the ribbon width.

  6. The ribbon which is narrower than the paper width by 5 mm or more can be used, but the print area becomes narrower.

Fig. 3: Connection between Leader Tape and Ribbon

NOTES on using ribbon:

If the difference between the ribbon width and the paper width is too large, the ribbon may wrinkle. Refer to the table below and choose the paper appropriate to the ribbon width. Even if the ribbon is narrower than paper, printing can be performed. However, it results in the narrower print range.

LE840T/LE850T

Ribbon width68mm84mm112mm
Appropriate paper width45 to 63 mm63 to 79 mm79 to 107 mm

The ribbon tension adjustment may be further required according to the ribbon width. In the case a narrower width of the ribbon is used, if the ribbon tension is strong, the ribbon will wrinkle. According to the print patterns, fine adjustment of the ribbon take-up motor is required. As a guide, regardless of the print speed, it should be set to “-3” (FW) and “-1” (BK) for 68-mm wide ribbon, and “-4” (FW) and “-2” (BK) for 50-mm wide or less ribbon, respectively.

7.4 Care/Handling of Media and Ribbon

CAUTION!

Be sure to carefully review and understand the Supply Manual. Use only media and ribbons that meet specified requirements. Use of non-specified media and ribbons may shorten the head life and result in problems with bar code readability or print quality. All media and ribbons should be handled with care to avoid any damage to the media, ribbons or printer. Read the guidelines in this section carefully.

  • Do not store the media or ribbon for longer than the manufacturer's recommended shelf life.
  • Store media rolls on the flat end. Do not store them on the curved sides as this might flatten that side causing erratic media advance and poor print quality.
  • Store the media in plastic bags and always reseal after opening. Unprotected media can get dirty and the extra abrasion from the dust and dirt particles will shorten the print head life.
  • Store the media and ribbon in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas where they would be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, dust or gas.
  • The thermal paper used for direct thermal printing must not have specifications which exceed Na^+ 800 ppm , K^+ 250 ppm and Cl^- 500 ppm .
  • Some ink used on pre-printed media may contain ingredients which shorten the print head's product life. Do not use labels pre-printed with ink which contain hard substances such as carbonic calcium (CaCO3) and kaolin (Al2 O3, 2 SiO2, 2 H_2 O) .

For further information, please contact your local distributor or your media and ribbon manufacturers.

APPENDIX 4 GLOSSARIES

Barcode

A code which represents alphanumeric characters by using a series of black and white stripes of different widths. Reading barcodes is a fast and accurate means of capturing data.

Batch mode

An issue mode that continuously prints until the specified number has been printed.

Black mark

A black mark printed on the media so that the printer can maintain a consistent print position by detecting this mark.

Black mark sensor

A reflective sensor that detects the difference of potential between the black mark and print area to find the print start position.

Built-in rewind mode

A printer mode where media is wound onto the build-in rewind.

Cut mode

A printer mode where an optional cutter module is installed to automatically cut media from the supply roll after they are printed. The print command can specify to cut after every print or to cut after a set number of prints.

Cutter module

A device used to cut the media.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A communications protocol that allocates an IP address to a computer plugged into a network.

DPI

Dots Per Inch The unit used to express print density.

Expansion I/O interface

An interface circuit that may be installed to allow the printer to be connected to an external device such as a wrapping machine. It can receive feed, print start, and pause signals from the external device and to send back print, pause, and error status signals to the external device.

Font

A complete set of alphanumeric characters in one style of type. E.g. Helvetica, Courier, Times

Gap

Gap between labels on a backing material

Gap sensor

A transmissive sensor that detects the difference of potential between the gap between labels and the label to find the print start position.

IPS

Inch per second The unit used to express print speed.

Label

A type of media with adhesive backing.

LCD

Liquid Crystal Display Installed on the operation panel and displays operation modes, error message etc.

Media

Material on which data is printed by the printer. Labels, tag paper, fanfold paper, perforated paper etc.

Plug and Play

When Plug and Play is enabled, the PC will automatically identify the printer (if the PC supports Plug & Play), optimise the system resource (IRQ and DMA), and display a message prompting a printer driver installation.

Pre-printed media

A type of media on which characters, logos, and other designs have been already printed.

Printer IP address

A 32-bit address of a printer connected to TCP/IP network, which identifies the printer. An IP address is written as 4 sets of numbers, separated by full stops. For example 192.168.10.20. The thermal print head consists of a single line of tiny resistive elements. When current is allowed to flow through each element it heats up causing a small dot to be burned onto thermal paper or a small dot of ink to be transferred from a thermal ribbon. The speed at which printing occurs. This speed is expressed in units of IPS (inches per second).

Reflective sensor

See Black mark sensor.

Resolution

The number of individual dots a printer can produce within a unit of distance. Printer resolution measured in Dots per Inch. As the number of dots per inch increases, the resolution increases, resulting in a more detailed image.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)

RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to exchange data between a reader and an electronic tag. The tag can be encapsulating inside a label which can also be printed on. RFID is very useful for object identification and tracking.

Ribbon

An inked film used to transfer an image or text onto media. In thermal transfer printing, it is heated by the print head, causing an image to be transferred onto the media.

Strip mode

The printer removes labels from the backing paper. After each issue the printer stops until the label is removed. Once the label is removed the next label will be issued and so on.

Supplies

Media and ribbon

Tag

A type of media with no adhesive, usually made from cardboard or other durable material.

Thermal direct printing

A printing method using no ribbon and thermal media which reacts to heat. The print head makes direct contact with the media producing text or images.

Thermal print head

A print head using thermal transfer or thermal direct printing method.

Thermal transfer printing

A printing method where the thermal print head heats an ink or resin coated ribbon against the media. The ink/resin is then transferred onto the media.

Threshold setting

A sensor setting that allows the printer to maintain a consistent print position of pre-printed media.

Transmissive sensor

See Gap sensor.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

An interface that is used to connect peripherals, such as a printer, keyboard, mouse to computer or host. The USB port may allow disconnection of a USB device without turning off the power.

Web printer

The web printer function allows you to browse the printer status on the PC, issue media, check or change the settings, or download firmware to the printer.
